Comments on NOVELOUS for Android

★★★★☆ Harry Graver · Jul 23, 2026

Great manga and light novel options, and they give you the option to unlock up to 3 chapters a day without using coins (ads instead) so better than most others in that regard. They are also pretty generous with giving you free coins to unlock more chapters for simple things like reading a few chapters of different novels or comics. Overall pretty good.

★★★★★ Gabriel Carr · Jul 31, 2026

It's GREAT! I have read FIVE chapters and no add!!! And doing the missions like "Read five chapters" or "Read three chapters" Are great for people who like Manga but don't money to get the coins!, I will continue to use this app!

★★☆☆☆ Podo Draken · Jul 1, 2026

2 stars because it works. Not a good source of quality light novels. Those that I read were poorly written and just chasing popular themes of web comics. Two free chapters, term used loosely as the chapters contained a dozen to two dozen three line paragraphs, then costly to open up further chapters. Don't expect to find anything well known. Not for me but might work for others.

★☆☆☆☆ C. T. Nelson · Jan 24, 2025

AI TRASH Don't offer this app your time or money because all it offers are books translated with AI, a Coin based payment system, and stupid speech bubbles. Pay real people to translate your works, and keep AI out of our books!

★☆☆☆☆ S A · Mar 2, 2025

Low quality AI translations read unnaturally and are insulting to the original Japanese writers. Do their stories justice and invest in professional human translators! Cannot recommend this at all.

★☆☆☆☆ Comic Sans · Nov 10, 2025

Can't rate higher than 1 star right now, because no matter what I do, the app won't open for me, so I can't give it a fair shot. I've tried closing and reopening the app, force stopping it and then reopening it, and even shutting down and rebooting my phone, but the app won't load even after 2–5 minutes of sitting at the first screen. Please fix this ASAP!
